Tui Compost
Tui Compost is the natural garden ingredient - the staple in every Kiwi shed! Healthy, conditioned soil is essential to get the most from your plants.
Tui Compost adds nutrient-rich organic matter to replenish your soil with nutrients used during the growing season. The combination of organic matter, blood and bone and gypsum will: help break up heavy or clay soil; improve drainage in compacted soil; and increase water holding capacity in sandy soil. It also increases microbial activity, and encourages earthworms - a gardener's best friend!
This bag is recyclable through the soft plastics recycling scheme, it just needs to be clean and dry. Learn how to clean and dry your Tui growing media bags here.

It’s the best priced compost. I use it a lot around my garden. As well as your liquid fertilisers. And sheep pellets

Gypsum
Gypsum is a slow-release source of sulphur and calcium which play a key role in improving soil structure, aeration and water retention. So you can grow better, healthier crops.
When Gypsum dissolves, it releases equal proportions of calcium and sulphate. Calcium sulphate improves the structure and consistency in soil and most other growing media allowing better water penetration and retention.
Gypsum is an environmentally friendly, natural mineral that is mined from ocean deposits formed centuries ago. It's non-toxic and not harmful to people or animals.
Rhubarb Growing Guide
Rhubarb is one of the hardier crops, tolerant of cold, frost and wind. It is one of those staple crops you can plant, fertilise, water and walk away from once it’s established. Aesthetically, it adds colour and texture to the garden. When planting rhubarb remember that rhubarb leaves are poisonous and that only the stem can be cooked and used.
